Pinnacles National Monument
For Teachers
 

Our programs offer educators the opportunity to use the park as an outdoor learning environment. By immersing students into the park’s resources, teachers bring scientific concepts to life! The programs available at Pinnacles have been designed to meet the educational objectives of the teachers in our surrounding communities by offering three options to utilize the park as a classroom.

Teachers can schedule a field trip by printing and filling out a program request and faxing it to the park. To get started, choose from our list of programs and options.

For detailed instructions on the process of applying for an educational fee waiver, please read our Educational Fee Waiver SOP.  For the fee waiver application or program request form, please see the links on the right hand side of this page.
